Just remember not to look right at it.

While those of us in the U.S. may not be able to see the solar eclipse that’s occurring Dec. 26, people on every other continent may be able to catch a glimpse of the “ring of fire.” This eclipse, which also coincides with the new moon, is the last of the year (and decade) before we head into 2020.

The “ring of fire” eclipse is set to occur at around 12:17 A.M. EST. A solar eclipse means that the moon casts a shadow on the earth by either partially or fully blocking sunlight from reflecting onto the earth. In other words, eclipses occur when the sun, moon and earth are all aligned.

This particular type of moon cycle is called an “annular eclipse”, which NASA has featured on their website. Eclipse season happens about every six months. According to Science Alert, a solar eclipse always occurs on a new moon and a lunar eclipse always occurs on a full moon.

2020 will have six eclipses, the first of which will occur on Jan. 10, 2020. The next annular solar eclipse will happen Jun. 21, 2020.
